Actionscript 3 :: Create Multiple Layer Masks Over A Single Layer?
Mar 22, 2012Is it possible to create multiple layer masks over a single layer using Actionscript3?Below is the flash effect I wanted to create with masks.First it starts from A and goes to B and C simultaneously.Then from B it goes to H and D simultaneously (the same applies to C).This is how the end result will look like.ps. I need my background to be transparent. I'm embedding it into a web page later.

Jun 1, 2010REQS: - 3 layers of images (groups) with a parallaxe like effect, meaning: * through gaps in top layer you see the second and through that the third layer. * subsequent layers appear incrementally smaller. * top layer moves quickest, subsequent layers move incrementally slower * 'hazy' effect (gray semi transparant mask or blur) increases for 'farther' away layers.
- random keypress moves layers horizontally in one direction only. - space bar halts movement for all layers. - backspace and return keys zoom to next/prev layers.
- all keystrokes are visible in a textbox. Results are possibly used/stored. - pristine quality images - quick loading
I first started working out a prototype in Javascipt using JQuery and some available plugins after which I wrote some own code. This gets me in a good direction, but there's one MAJOR problem: file size. This, among other reasons, make me consider using Flash. I haven't used Flash in years and have just started diving into Actionscript 3, which is a beauty! Let me explain a bit more and tell me how feasible my idea is.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Multiple Masks For 1 Mc?
Apr 2, 2005I have this problem that has been makin me crazy. I want to make an erasor for the drawing api basically. Since I wasn't able to accomplish it, i looked everywhere!!! no luck So far I have been able to "erase" with shapes. For instance, I can drag a circle out and see the masked item underneath. The very next shape I drag out cancels the mask from the previous shape as if you can only have 1 mask per maskee. Also, I cant get a line drawing to become a mask.
//creating the shape
_level3.drawingPlane.createEmptyMovieClip("layer"+ _level3.layer+"_"+i, _level3.layer);
// dynamically setting the mask_level3.water.setMask(_level3.drawingplane["layer"+_level3.layer+"_"+i]);
ActionScript 2.0 :: Multiple Masks Movieclips?
Oct 10, 2011I am creating movieclips and there holes(deselected areas using masks) dynamicly. Is there a way I can assign one movieclip moer than one mask? Maybe by somehow saving the moviclip with the first hole(mask), so I can assign him the mask again(Seee example hole1 and hole2 on mc1).Another thing is to assign the same mask to two difrent movieclips, but as read that should be sovled by duplicating the mask mc.

Mar 14, 2012I have made a movieClip (mcMask) which I can use to mask another movieClip containing a bg image (mcImage). I have given the image movieClip an instance name(bg_mc) and I have given the mask movieClip a class of "Mask" in the "linkage" field. Now, I want to create multiple "Mask" movieClips using AS3 and use these to mask the image movieClip (bg_mc).The problem comes when I want to call the instance names of the "Mask" movieClips and set them to be the .mask value of the image movieClip.Because they are created from a class dynamically they don't have instance names. Is there a way to easily give them all instance names and then call them to use as masks? Or is there another way of calling them without assigning instance names?
Code:
//creates Var to create new "Mask" movieClips
var timer:Timer = new Timer(100, 999999);

IDE :: Multiple Masks For Dynamic Element Causing Null Object Reference?
Sep 27, 2009I have a bunch of objects that each contain a color swatch movie clip. The color swatch contains a bunch of frames, each a different colored rectangle.The objects that contain the swatch clips also have a mask layer that defines what portion of the color swatch is revealed.
When I have one frame in that mask, everything works correctly. I can change the swatches with no problem.However, I need to create different frame for the mask. Once I create a second frame with a different mask, I get a Null Object Reference and everything breaks.
I tried creating shape tweens between the frames, making each mask into its own movie clip, and putting each new mask on a different layer - but none of that works.
Professional :: Copy Multiple Object On Multiple Layer With ALT?

View 3 RepliesProfessional :: Multiple Tweens On The Same Layer?
Jun 21, 2010I seem to remember reading that you shouldn't do it.I was mad at Flash CS4 and CS5 because I wasn't able to make the animation work like After Effects, as far as animating something, having it rest, and then animating it again. I know you can do this already, however, if you add easing you could mess yourself up as the ease gets applied to the entire tween. I wanted to be able to tween something with an ease, then let it rest, then tween it again, again with an ease.
Tonight I discovered this: Place CTI over last frame of first tween, select object, copy. Go to next "slot" and Insert Blank Keyframe, then Paste in Place the object. Make some more frames. Then after it all make a New Keyframe (content from preceeding keyframe gets copied into it, then add more frames, select them and Make Tween. I now have 2 tweens on the same layer, each with their own easing that can't get stretched out of place.However, when I did this I noticed, before making the second tween, that I was not able to just click the object and Make Tween from there. I had to actually make regular frames and convert them

IDE :: Import Multiple Images And Have Them Appear In Sequence In A Single Layer?
Feb 1, 2010I'd like to import dozens of images and have them in sequence in a single layer. I did this once before, I made a .swf out of a video game cutscene and I recall importing the images to the stage then I asked somewhere else how to make them appear in the layers field. Then I did something that put each image in its own layer and I had to manually move them and make them appear in sequence.
So if anybody knows how to import and put in a single layer in sequence or simply import each image into its own layer

Nov 19, 2009I am doing some research on creating clcikTags. I read a few places that the clcikTag should be on the top layer.

Am I better off just putting my loop action on the last key frame of the clcikTag layer?

Aug 9, 2010Im creating a program that is designed to allow the used to select 3 pictures (movie clips) and print them off on a single peace of paper.
The program works by allowing the user to select 3 graphics (the graphics are actually instructions for various exercises) and then moving the desired movieclips onto the stage. This all happens on a layer named "Content"
So far the program will allow the user to select the movieclips and will move them into place on the Content layer as well as move smaller versions of the pictures into a preview box the only thing it does not do is print. (the most important bit)

How To Have Outline Sketch On Layer A And Color On Layer B
Nov 5, 2009I'm trying to do a little comic comedy type video in Flash. I've done an outline sketch with the pen tool of my first character, now I want to color it BUT I want to keep the colors and the outline sketch separated on two different layers. Is there a way I can select the path (outline) on layer A and then colorize it with the bucket tool on layer B? The problem I'm having is that every object I select it automatically jumps to that corresponding layer.
One reason why I want to do it this way is I still want to continue working freely on the outline sketch since it's not fully finished, so that I just can blend the colors out and keep working on the outline, at the same time I want to color it while I go just to see where it's going and to make sure that I'm not wasting my time unnecessarily with trying to do a outline just to find out that it won't work out at the end.
how to do a comic type animation, how to create the characters, how to make them move and talk? It can be a free or paid resource.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Possible To Add Layers / Re-order Layers / Move Movieclips From Layer To Layer
Oct 22, 2008Is it possible to add layers, re-order layers, move movieclips from layer to layer or specify which layer a duplicate movieclip appears on at runtime with AS3?I am aware of the depth properties and the functions associated with that but it would be easier to have a concept of a layer because I am dealing with masks.I have a nasty feeling I'm gonna be told that layers don't really exist within an swf and that depths and setmask are all there is to work with.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Movieclips Under Masks
Jan 9, 2009So I have a MovieClip, A, and inside of it is a layer that has shapes on it for a mask, this layer does have some keyframe animation (the masks move). Then I have MovieClips on other layers that are masked by the masking layer. When the movie loads, I load in an external jpeg and draw it onto a bitmap object, and then use that bitmap object and attach it to the moviecilps that are masked. This works fine, until the animation hits the part where the masks actually animated, then it reverts back to whatever i had in it before i attached the bitmaps. Is this a bug? or am i missing something? the only way i can get it to work is to run a function every single frame that the mask changes to reattach the bitmap. but that seems quite unefficient to have to do
